Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 440 Martial Arts (8)

There are many people in the Shence Army, unlike Xu Qing's soldiers, who can be assembled in front of the Xuanwu Gate. The soldiers here need to be seen one by one.The people Xu Qing needs are those with large shields, long spears, and even Mo Dao.These three arms all need to withstand the impact of cavalry, and the weapons in their hands are also very heavy, so it is not acceptable to be thin or too short.Before Xu Qing came, he found a taller pavilion according to the one in his own camp, which looked like 1.8 meters, and measured a rope.

Walking on the road, Changsun Wuji and Xu Qing didn't speak. Xu Qing felt a little embarrassed, so he found some long tree trunks on the road, broke his rope in half, and cut two branches like this.Hand it over to Zhao Gong and Wei Xian, saying that they should select candidates according to this height, a little lower is fine, not too low.Originally Xu Qing wanted to say that the first point is not good, but he thought that this height is rare in later generations, not to mention that this nutrition is much inferior to the Tang Dynasty in later generations.

After a while, we arrived at the barracks of the Shence Army.When Xu Qing came, it was still around ten o'clock in the morning, and the current Shence Army was conducting morning drills.Seeing the dust flying everywhere on the school field, Xu Qing couldn't help frowning.When you come to a place, ask the person who is practicing to stop.

Wei Xian and Zhao Gong took the rope and went to measure their height, so Xu Qing naturally didn't need to do this kind of "rough work".

Changsun Wuji took Xu Qing to a martial arts viewing platform, watching the people below shoot guns and arrows, and practice riding horses.Suddenly, Changsun Wuji said to Xu Qing: "Xuan Pinghou, what do you think of the soldiers of the Shence Army?"

Xu Qing smiled and said: "The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong!"

Changsun Wuji nodded: "I don't know how the soldiers under Xuan Pinghou compare with the soldiers in the Shence Army?"

Xu Qing waved his finger to the school field and said: "This Shence army is a strong soldier. They attack the city and pull out the stronghold, and meet the enemy in battle. They are all excellent soldiers. The battle must be won, and the attack must be captured. But my soldiers, But it's not training for the purpose of attacking cities and pulling out strongholds, my general's soldiers are a rare army."

"Oh?" Changsun Wuji stared at Xu Qing and said, "Hehe, Marquis Xuan Ping is a strange man in the imperial court, he conceived of extraordinary schemes and made extraordinary achievements repeatedly. I wonder how Master Xu trained this extraordinary army?"

How can I easily teach you the way of my military training? It can be used as a plan for the world, and the strength of the army makes the country strong. Let me tell you the way of military training.It doesn't matter whether you comprehend it by yourself or hand it over to others.At that time, no matter whether your grandson Wuji is in power or someone else is in power, it will always be good to the people of Tang Dynasty. I, Xu Qing, am not a stingy person.Xu Qing thought in his heart, opened his mouth and said: "I will train my troops according to fourteen characters, 'as fast as the wind, as fast as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as immovable as a mountain'. These fourteen characters are the purpose of the training. , the pursuit of military training, the outline is clear."

In fact, Changsun Wuji was disdainful in his heart. At such a young age, he still said that he was a rare soldier, and he hadn't attacked the city or pulled out the stronghold. How did the Tang Dynasty come about?It must be the soldiers of your Xuanwu Sect, who have been trained and disabled by you, and came to find elite soldiers again this time.Heh heh, let's see how you make up this lie.

But after hearing Xu Qing's fourteen-character mantra, Changsun Wuji was shocked.Back then, Xu Qing won three battles and three victories against his own soldiers. Although none of them were his elite, those soldiers were also his best means of dealing with ordinary people.Xu Qing was able to defeat them, but Changsun Wuji didn't care, because he felt that Xu Qing's victory was either due to luck or Li Yuan.

However, two things changed Changsun Wuji's opinion.One is that one day when Chang Sun Chong was sent to sell the fields, Xu Qing took out more than 2000 taels of silver.There are really not many who can spend 2000 taels at home. This incident shows that Xu Qing has financial resources, and with financial resources, he can support a bunch of warriors who are difficult to train, expensive in equipment, and high in salary.That's why Xu Qing has the basis to compete with the eldest grandson's family.

However, a thousand soldiers are easy to get and a general is hard to find, even if Xu Qing can have so many people working for him, it is useless.Just like the first batch of people I invited, without organization, they would be vulnerable to real forces.Changsun Wuji didn't know that Xu Qing's subordinates were people from the dark forces of the former prince's subordinates. Although they were only guards at the time, but now that the Sui and Tang Dynasties have turned and many heroes have perished, Yang Cheng and Yang Xin are still very strong.Therefore, Changsun Wuji thought about it, and couldn't think of which hero Xu Qing had hired.

But today, all of this has a result and an answer.This rare general, this hero who is good at training soldiers, is Xu Qing himself!Look at the fourteen words he said, these are words that even a battle-tested general can't say. If you ask Li Jing, he must admire these fourteen words.Xu Qing was able to say these fourteen characters, so he must know the usage of the fourteen characters when he came to select soldiers today.Terrible, if Xu Qing can train all these 4000 people to be the same as those guards in his own family, then who else in Chang'an City can beat him except the emperor and those people?No, no, those people refused to make a move easily, and Xu Qing was loyal to Li Yuan. Li Yuan was raising a sharp blade that everyone was afraid of.

But no, where did Xu Qing get such a great skill?If Xu Qing knew it from birth, Changsun Wuji would not believe it.If there is another peerless expert behind Xu Qing, or that kind of family, Changsun Wuji thinks it is a little credible.No matter what, Xu Qing is really a person who can't be messed with.Changsun Wuji thought for a long time, but Xu Qing didn't bother him.

After a while, Changsun Wuji bowed to Xu Qing and said, "I have been educated, Xuan Pinghou is indeed an extraordinary man!"

Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "Where is it? This general only came up with such a few methods. I don't know if it will be effective."

After chatting for a few more words, Xu Qing personally participated in the selection of soldiers, and Changsun Wuji followed from a distance, looking at Xu Qing's back.

When Xu Qing was chatting with Changsun Wuji just now, Wei Xian and Zhao Gong had already selected seven or eight people. According to their opinion just now, each group has at most one person who meets the requirements.Some grow tall, but appear very thin, and have to be eliminated.Xu Qing had the final say, there were tens of thousands of people in the Shence Army, and if they were selected like this, it might be enough.

It's just that Xu Qing laughed in his heart. In this way, he cut off half of the Shence Army's head and transferred all the top people away.In ancient times, soldiers basically relied on strength, and they paid attention to a person who was tall and strong, so that he could be stable and powerful.Changsun Wuji didn't tell everyone to hide, and then pushed out his auxiliary soldiers for Xu Qing to choose, which was already a great deal of face.

Another point is that Xu Qing's selection of soldiers is actually difficult for others to refuse, whether it is a general who cherishes his own soldiers, or the soldiers themselves.From the point of view of the generals, they definitely don't want their elite soldiers to be transferred away, but Xu Qing's selection of soldiers is for the guards of the Xuanwu Gate, not for himself.In other words, this soldier was chosen for the emperor, and I, Xu Qing, are only in charge of it temporarily. If you dare to prevaricate, you are violating the imperial edict.For the pawns themselves, the Xuanwu Gate is the guard of the palace, and it is still the emperor's personal guard. Compared with the Shence Army, the Guo Jun, the treatment is much better.Finally, there is Xu Qing's reputation. The current Xu Qing is a legend in the army. It is also the dream of soldiers to serve under Xu Qing and learn something by the way.

"General, I am the head of the gang, please show me the general!"

Xu Qing was thinking about hunting down all the tall men in the Shence Army, and unknowingly came to the training ground of a group of people.They were striding forward, and they didn't make any noise to interrupt Xu Qing's thoughts, so Xu Qing didn't notice.At this moment, a person with a height of 1.9 meters suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qing, standing there like a wall.Xu Qing was almost startled, took a step back and said, "Who are you?"

"I am the leader of this group of cavalry training soldiers, please show me the general!" The tall leader cupped his hands.

Xu Qing came to select soldiers today, and he didn't go down to the lower level in advance, but Xu Qing came here in official uniform and with a saber, so the gang leader was so respectful but didn't know what it meant.Xu Qing made up his mind, looked at him, and felt good. At this height, dancing with a Mo Dao that is one and a half meters long is like a meat grinder.

So he said: "In the future, I will select soldiers to serve in the Xuanwumen garrison. From then on, the food and rice will be increased by [-]%. If it is said, they will still be the emperor's personal soldiers. Are you willing to go?"

In fact, when Xu Qing mentioned the word Xuanwu, the tall guy's eyes lit up: "Hey, you mean you are from the Xuanwu sect?"

Xu Qing nodded and said: "This general is the guard of Xuanwu Gate, Xu Qing is also..."

The gang leader was shocked immediately: "Sure, really?"

Xu Qing knew that this was his fan coming, but this was the Shence Army, so he couldn't make his identity too obvious, lest he be stuck here and couldn't go back.Xu Qing pretended to cough twice, lowered his voice and said, "Ahem, don't say anything. If you are willing to follow me to the Xuanwu Gate, I will promote you to be the captain. How about it?"

A bird in the hand is worse than a hundred birds in the forest, and the future is worse than a celebrity in front of your eyes, the tall guy also lowered his voice and said: "General Xu, I actually wanted to take refuge in you a long time ago, but I still have a few friends here. Brother, look..."

Xu Qing nodded and said: "Go and call them to have a look. If they are not too short, I will let them come together."

"Got it!"

Just now, Xu Qing took a look at the horse stance, but since everyone was squatting, he didn't see anyone tall.But when the gang leader called them all up, Xu Qing realized that there were six people in this group who were as tall as the tall gang leader.How else to put it, birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Qing put them all into the selected team.

Those who were selected found that there were more and more people standing here. They only knew that the people standing here were tall, but they didn't know what Xu Qing and the others were going to do, so they complained one after another.Changsun Wuji saw this scene from behind, so he stepped forward and scolded: "What are you complaining about? Let others laugh at you! Let me tell you that you were selected to serve the emperor, and you are going to go to that Xuanping you talk about every day. Hou's subordinates are soldiers, why are you complaining!"

As the guard of the central army, Changsun Wuji had no less prestige than the left and right generals. When he shouted, all the soldiers fell silent.Xu Qing was surprised, Changsun Wuji was extremely benevolent in not hindering my selection of soldiers, and now he is helping himself, if things go wrong, there must be demons.
